Here at Moliver Chiropractic, we are proud to offer e-stim to our patients. Stimulation can be a fantastic tool to assist you in feeling better. When applied to tissue, electric currents create thermal, physiological, and chemical responses. The currents also alter pain impulses.
We use interferential stimulation the most. Two channels of electrical stimulation create a third current that penetrates the affected tissues with little resistance. This stimulation will help control the pain and muscle contractions.
There are many benefits of electrical stimulation. Many of our patients say that it helps reduce edema as well as the swelling caused by fluid in the body’s tissues.
Our entire staff is dedicated to assisting you in your healing process. We focus on the root of the problem instead of covering it up with medication. By doing this, we are able to help solve the problem so that you are not in any pain anymore. Our number one goal is to assist you. We are always available to answer any questions that you have.
If you are experiencing pain, always let us know so that we can gently work around it and ensure that your sessions are beneficial and help in the healing process. We are always here for you.
If you have any questions regarding e-stim, contact us today at (704) 896-3435.
FAQs
What is Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)?
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a therapy that uses low-level electrical currents to stimulate muscle contractions. It helps reduce pain, improve circulation, and enhance muscle recovery.
How does EMS work?
EMS sends small electrical pulses to targeted muscles through electrode pads placed on the skin. These pulses cause the muscles to contract and relax, promoting blood flow, reducing inflammation, and aiding in muscle re-education.
What conditions can EMS help treat?
EMS is commonly used for:
- Muscle pain and spasms
- Sports injuries and recovery
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Joint and soft tissue injuries
- Improving circulation
- Reducing inflammation
Is EMS safe?
Yes, EMS is a safe, non-invasive therapy when used under professional supervision. It is commonly used in chiropractic and physical therapy treatments to support muscle healing and recovery.
Does EMS hurt?
No, EMS should not be painful. Patients typically experience a tingling sensation or mild muscle contractions. The intensity can be adjusted to ensure comfort during treatment.
How long does an EMS session last?
A typical EMS session lasts between 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the condition being treated and the treatment plan recommended by your chiropractor.
Who can benefit from EMS therapy?
EMS therapy benefits athletes, individuals recovering from injuries, and those experiencing chronic pain or muscle weakness. It is also useful for patients with conditions like sciatica, tendonitis, or muscle atrophy.
How often should I receive EMS therapy?
The frequency of EMS sessions depends on your condition and treatment plan. Some patients benefit from multiple sessions per week, while others may need occasional treatments for maintenance.
